It is an entirely different book but with an almost entirely same plot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy today's standards this would be classified as plagiarism, pure and simple, but when written it got past the lawyers of the day. So, here you have an alternate (slightly) look at the same basic story as written, not by Verne, but by \"Roy Rockwood.\"","brand":"Thackery Fox \u0026 Associates","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076640325872,"sku":"2940157658342","price":2.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157658342_p0.jpg?v=1764111831","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157658342","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
